摘要:
A method for treating an atom probe electrode (120), which comprises the steps of providing an atom electrode (120) having a surface (123) and an aperture (122); and removing material (604) from the surface (123) to reduce a potential of the atom probe electrode creating a non-uniformity in an electric field (502) when the atom probe electrode is used in a atom probe device during specimen analysis.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for via etching in a dielectric material includes providing a wafer (200) having a substrate (202), an etch stop layer (210) disposed outwardly from the substrate, an Organo-Silica-Glass layer (212) disposed outwardly from the etch stop layer (210), and a photoresist layer (216) disposed outwardly from the Organo-Silica-Glass layer (212), and positioning the wafer (200) within a process chamber (114). The method further includes introducing a first source gas mixture (110) into the process chamber (114) to etch a first portion of the Organo-Silica-Glass layer (212) utilizing the first source gas mixture (110), and introducing a second source gas mixture (110) into the process chamber (114) to etch, for a predetermined time period, a second portion of the Organo-Silica-Glass layer (212) down to the etch stop layer (210). The second source gas mixture (110) includes a fluorocarbon, a noble gas, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen.
摘要:
Communication among processors having differing operating speeds by providing wake queues in which slower processors can queue entries, access to which by multiple concurrent producers and multiple concurrent consumers is synchronized or controlled using global registers. When a faster processor executes a kernel process for handling a wake queue, an entry is fetched from the wake queue and information stored in the entry is used to process the entry.
摘要:
Described herein are various embodiments of an apparatus and system for trapping debris and arresting sparks that overcomes at least some shortcomings of the prior art approaches. According to one embodiment, an apparatus is disclosed for mitigating failure of an exhaust after-treatment component in an internal combustion engine system capable of generating an exhaust gas stream. The apparatus includes a housing that includes an exhaust inlet, exhaust outlet, and exhaust flow channel positioned between the exhaust inlet and outlet. Also, the apparatus includes a tubular-shaped mesh screen positioned substantially entirely within the exhaust flow channel. The mesh screen includes a closed end positioned proximate the exhaust inlet of the housing and an opposing open end positioned proximate the exhaust outlet of the housing. The mesh screen is configured to capture failed exhaust after-treatment component particles within the exhaust gas stream.
摘要:
A drywall bucket and tool carrying cart has a main body with an interior space and open top to receive and retain a drywall compound bucket and five legs extending downwardly and outwardly from the perimeter of the body of the cart. Lockable rollers extend from the bottoms of the legs. A shelf attaches to the legs below the body of the cart. A slotted rim for tools with at least one handle surrounds the upper perimeter of the cart.

On a tightly coupled multiprocessor computer system, the multiple parallel regions of a multithreaded applications program can execute simultaneously as multiple threads on a plurality of processors. Furthermore, a plurality of multithreaded programs may run simultaneously. The current invention uses an efficient system to schedule and reschedule processors to run these multiple threads. Scheduling is integrated at two levels: at the first level, processors are assigned processes. At the next level, processes are assigned threads. Increased efficiency is achieved by this integration and also by the formation of processes with destructible context. It makes use of shared storage to indicate the process request level and the control state for each parallel region.
摘要:
The present invention relates to atom probe data and associated systems and methods. Aspects of the invention are directed toward a computing system configured to predict a characteristic associated with an atom probe specimen that includes a data set receiving component configured to receive a three-dimensional data set associated with a portion of the specimen. The system further includes a predicting/calculating component configured to predict the characteristic associated with the specimen based on the data set. Other aspects of the invention are directed toward a method for evaluating a manufacturing process using atom probe data that includes receiving a three-dimensional data set associated with a portion of a microelectronic assembly produced by a manufacturing process. The method further includes determining a variation between the data set and a configuration expected to result from the manufacturing process.

A method of bonding multiple layers is provided. The method includes the steps of stacking the multiple layers on top of each other and volumetrically heating the stack of multiple layers to a predetermined temperature. It is preferred that the stack is heated by electromagnetic induction.
摘要:
Method for enabling each of several processors in a multi-processing operating system to schedule processes it will execute without a supervisory scheduler. The processes are executed on the basis of priorities assigned to the processes. More than one processor can schedule processes simultaneously so long as each processor schedules processes having different priority levels from those being processed by another processor.
